I'm uncertain as to what this topic will actually be discussing - this appears to be a blank statement.
Example: "Some cookies have chocolate chips in them."
Ok, we could start a topic with that, but there's no indication as to what the person who started the topic wants to discuss - they just made a particular statement about cookies.
A better way to get the ball rolling would be:
"I think chocolate chip cookies are obviously superior to other cookies."
or
"This {random line of evidence} shows that chocolate chip cookies are obviously superior to other cookies".
See the difference there?

Re: Rabbi Brian Ishmael Yacob Abram Mactavish!
I looked at the OP, and I understand every word of it - the point is that you are not clear on what you want to discuss.
You have a quote from a website, links, and a single statement: "The Scots are claiming to be ancestors of scattered 10 tribe Israel."
How hard is it to expand a little on this? Like, perhaps, explain your own view of it, and the evidence? Why is the part about the Scottish lords important and relevent? How does any of this relate to evolution versus creationism, or bible inerrancy, and if we do promote it where should it go (other than the Coffee House)?
Please note that AdminPhat and I are not "clueless" for asking that your OP have a little more content before we promote the topic. Regardless of how educated you or I might be, there are many posters here who do not live in the UK or Ireland and common courtesy would indicate that you offer them some kind of explanation. If you cannot be bothered to do that, why should anyone bother to respond to you?

Re: Rabbi Brian Ishmael Yacob Abram Mactavish!
...which just happens to be on a website...
Nitpick if you will, AdminJar is moving the topic as we post as far as I know.
